4. OPINIONS

Based upon the foregoing assumptions and subject to any matters not disclosed to us we are of the opinion that, so far as the present law of Scotland is concerned and subject to the qualifications and reservations set out below:

4.1 Incorporation: each of the Scottish Issuers is a company duly incorporated and validly existing under the law of Scotland and has, under such law, been in continuous and unbroken existence since the date of its incorporation; and

4.2 Power, Capacity and Execution: each of the Scottish Issuers had all necessary corporate power and capacity under its Constitutional Documents to enter into and deliver the Documents on the date of those Documents, duly authorised the execution and delivery of the Documents, and duly executed and delivered the Documents, all in accordance with the law of Scotland.

5. QUALIFICATIONS AND RESERVATIONS

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinions expressed in this letter are subject to the following qualifications and reservations:

5.1 Insolvency etc.: our opinions are subject to all limitations and modifications of rights and obligations resulting from the law of bankruptcy, liquidation, receivership, reorganisation, reconstruction, moratoria, court schemes, insolvency, administration and other laws generally affecting the rights of creditors or from any other laws or principles of natural justice or public policy.

5.2 Binding Obligations: we express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of any of the Documents, nor as to the perfection, filing or registration requirements of or in respect of any of the Documents (including as to fees, stamp taxes, registration charges or similar payments that may be due in respect of any of the Documents).

5.3 Incorporation and Existence: the opinion expressed that each of the Scottish Issuers is a company duly incorporated and validly existing under the law of Scotland and has, under such law, been in continuous and unbroken existence since the date of its incorporation is based upon our examination of the Searches and the Certificates of Good Standing only. It is subject to any filings and entries made in any register after, respectively, the respective dates up to which the information appearing in the Searches has been complied, and the date of the Certificates of Good Standing. It should be noted that a search of the records and filings at the Registrar of Companies in Scotland:

5.3.1 is not necessarily capable of revealing whether or not a winding-up petition or a petition for the making of an administration order has been presented or whether a receiver or administrator has been appointed due to the fact that notice of an administration order or notice of appointment of a receiver or administrator does not require to be filed immediately and accordingly there may be a delay in the relevant notice appearing;

5.3.2 does not necessarily reveal all changes in the company officers, amendments to constitutional documents or other resolutions passed by the directors or members of the company, it being the case that certain resolutions need not be filed at all or that, in any event, failure to file at the Registrar of Companies does not necessarily invalidate the change, amendment or resolutions.

5.4 Law of Scotland only: we have not investigated the laws of any jurisdiction other than Scotland and this opinion is given only with respect to the law of Scotland as in force and as interpreted by the Scottish courts as of the date of this letter.

5.5 Legal Opinions only: we express no opinion as to matters of fact.

5.6 Documents Reviewed: we have examined all documents we deem necessary to render our opinion, including the documents listed in paragraph 2 above.

6. ADDRESSEES, CONSENT AND GOVERNING LAW

6.1 This opinion letter is issued in connection with the Transaction only and may not be used, relied upon or referred to for any other purpose.

Any communication or disclosure given with our consent must be given subject to the condition of excluding any reliance on the terms thereof whether or not such condition is specified by us at the time of giving such consent. For the avoidance of doubt this paragraph 6.2 is subject to paragraph 6.3.

6.3 We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus contained therein. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required within Section 7 of the US Securities Act of 1933, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
